A Young Life Coach Embraces Moving And Fights Off Rabbid Dust Bunnies (Guest Post by Coach Alisha) Change can be scary, but when we let go of the old, we clear space for new and amazing things to move in! It’s Moving Time! Alright, So let’s get one thing straight. I hate moving. I am a nest-er, I like to put my pictures on the wall, make my apartment feel cozy and welcoming, declare it my sanctuary. I claim my space and then stay as long as possible before I have to move again. And yet here I am,…

How to Break Through Thinking “Can I Become a Life Coach if I am Young? (Guest Post by Coach Terena Barajas) The most important moment of my coaching career so far has been the day I decided I was a life coach. That’s right, the day I DECIDED. Not the day I finished training or gave a successful talk or workshop. Nope. I was on my own, at home, and it suddenly hit me. If I was going to do this, really do this, I had to believe it and BE it. I had to let go of the fear…

Becoming A Life Coach Isn’t All About The Class! (Guest Post by Coach Jordan) The light bulb went off! I didn’t realize until this past week that becoming a life coach was about so much more then just paying for Mentor Masterclass and listening to Coach Jey each week. WOAH REALIZATION! I had my first coaching call with someone other than my coaching partner and wow was it hard. But, it was also the best experience I have had so far as a coach. Coaching someone who is also becoming a life coach is COMPLETELY different than coaching someone who…

How I Found A Community of Coaches (Guest Post by Coach Jordan) Photo credit www.women’squest.org Where to Begin! A community of coaches is a must-have for anyone aspiring and training to become a life coach, business coach, relationship coach or any type of coach! When I first started thinking about becoming a life coach I had no idea where to begin. Not only did I not know where to start but I was nervous, and I mean NERVOUS. I didn’t know anyone that was a coach let alone someone I was close to. So, I set out to find communities…

Is The Story Of Your Identity Holding You Back? (Guest Post by Coach Alisha Soper) What if the stories we have used to define our identity have been wrong all along? Childhood memories are totally a huge well of identity forming experiences, some silly and some very serious. And quite honestly the realities that we accepted and used to define our sense of self when we were 7 years old is quite different than the reality we currently reside in as adults. And yet, I for one, most definitely get caught up in the “I can’ts”, and the “that’s…

Let the Guru Out ! How to Not be Intimidated by the Leading Coaches in the Industry (Guest Post by Coach Terena Barajas) Don’t over think it! Most of us are wired to think that good things are a result of hard work and long hours. And while this is not far from the truth, we also attach to this a great number of limiting beliefs which basically lead us to the idea that: Good things don’t just happen without suffering, bad things have to happen first. You have to prepare really really well before you go out there,…

(Guest Post by Coach Jordan Bloom) Do you feel like you’re being held back because you’re too young? When starting out as a young life coach you face looks and hear comments and you know exactly what they mean. People say you’re too young, you haven’t lived enough to coach others or you just don’t have the right to be giving advice to clients that may be older than you. This sounds outrageous to me! This happens in so many job fields because people believe…
